Slate's Culture Gabfest and Precious

On Slate's Culture Gabfest, the three (rather annoying) commentators were discussing the film Precious and they discussed the eating of a bucket of fried chicken and how "exploitative" the scene was because the young woman's (who is black if you are not familiar with the film) face was covered in grease.

Just as an FYI to those who have never eaten a large amount of greasy food from a plastic container (chicken, beef, or vegetable based), after eating that much fried food, YOUR face is going to be covered in grease...it happens.

This is not exploitative.  This is Cinéma vérité.
